Hello Jasem,
thank you for your answer.
I see your point and I like a visual reference of the current value too, but 
the edit box is also updated. It happens, infact, that while I am writing the 
new value in the edit box, it is reset to the current value so that I have to 
write ad set it again.
Apart from that let me thank you and the whole kstars group for your great 
work!

Cheers,
Gaetano
